AND it's the time the mags should have been achieving loooong ago. Maybe everyone, even the motor testers, have forgotten the art of driving a manual eh?Well done again!

turbocorty Legacy Donating Member 178 Member For: 22y 11m 21d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 23/07/05 02:18 AM Author Posted 23/07/05 02:18 AM No Problem, any Mag that want's me to cain thier cars..please call!!To get a good time with a manual turbo, you must ride the clutch for 1/2 a second before fully releasing, then the car just slingshots. If you simply dump the clutch (like the mags do) you will end up with a sh#t ET.I have no doubt that more F6 owners can do the same with the standard car.. I need this to prove that my car is stock! I have all ready had an XR6T owner say that I'm full of crap because his car has more power and he get same results.Anyway.This is just the evidence we all needed to prove that a standard ford can cut it with the V8 heavy wieghts of HSV.I love it.Cheers, and thanks.
